@DeepDishEnjoyer my understanding, which might be wrong, is that the test where the 125 figure comes from was a high school test that was right-censored and meant to test for mental disabilities / who needed extra help at school.
agree that the list here is probably not well-founded though

@krishnanrohit If I mark someone's 401k to 81% of total contributions when they're 65 and say "hey you'll get this cash in 5 more years," would destroy most of the value.
Obviously with Madoff, these gains were fake, but the whole point is the investors kinda didn't know that

@krishnanrohit 81% of the principal invested right? The big problem was that people had "gains" in the funds that accounted for a large portion of the wealth. Combined with the opportunity cost of capital tied up in a bankruptcy for many years, it was extremely devastating for investors
